Depository in capital market allows brokers and other financial institutions to deposit securities, book entries, clearance, settlement, securities borrowing & lending, etc. Depository service is one of the most technologically advanced services in the financial sector and has made the stock trading free from paper work, delays, theft and forgeries. Dematerialisation or "demat" is a process whereby physical securities like shares, debentures etc, are converted into electronic data and stored in computers by a depository, which functions like a securities bank, where the dematerialized securities are traded and held in custody, facilitating faster, risk-free and low-cost settlements.

Wealth Management When it comes to investment, everyone has unique needs based on their own objectives and risk profiles. While many investment avenues such as fixed deposits, bonds etc. exist, it is usually seen that equities typically outperform these investments over a longer period of time. However, investing in equity is not as simple as investing in bonds or bank deposits, because only a balanced portfolio optimizes the risk-return ratio and this requires expertise and time. The risk appetite of clients also dictates whether investment in equities would be through the IPO route or through the Mutual Funds. Guiness wealth management services are an integral part of our overall goal. Clients typically are exposed to a level of risk that they need to take in order to meet their personal objectives and we limit risk by focusing on broad diversification and a disciplined approach. We seek to provide you with returns that are consistent, competitive and in line with your objectives. Our wealth management services recommend issues and help you to invest your money in equity through IPO or through different Mutual Fund schemes after a comprehensive research process. The listing of Mutual Funds has brought multiple benefits including access to investor capital and a wider international investor base. Since certain investors may only invest in listed securities, so listing of Mutual Fund Schemes enhances the marketability of a mutual fund. For closed-ended funds, where there is no facility to redeem, a listing on thestock Exchange can provide a secondary market with a platform for both buyers and sellers.
Commodity Trading Trading in commodities has unfolded new and exciting avenues to diversify the portfolio beyond shares, bonds and real estate, and maximises returns. The multi-commodity exchanges at the national level are building focus on transparency and fair practices. Until sometimes ago, investment in commodities was virtually impossible, excluding gold and silver, due to want of intermediary, regulatory, exchanges for trading and investments. With the launch of the commodity exchanges in India, investors are able to trade in commodities. Considering that the average investor needs understanding of market trends and ability to take decisions, Guiness has involved dedicated teams to increase awareness levels, solve queries and offer access to researchbased guidance. As commodity trading is driven by fundamentals of demand and supply, having the right forecast models is very important. Guiness offers such services/models to investors, hedgers, arbitragers, traders, manufacturers, planters and even exporters and importers. Guiness Commodities Pvt. Ltd. holds membership of leading commodity exchange of India - MCX Backed by dedicated research team, Guiness offers investors fundamental understanding and approach, educates producers and consumers about available opportunities and benefits of hedging, etc. and also distributes critical information for commodity spot-futures' arbitrage etc. Guiness Commodity team comes with years of experience within the industry, a deep understanding of commodities trading and keeps an eye on the movement in the markets and spots opportunities for different players.

Corporate Social Responsibility Corporate Social Responsibility in simple words means development of the weaker sections and addressing the needs of the society like education, health, livelihood creation, skill development, etc. There are no specific courses or classes to deal with CSR issues, it comes from within. We at Guiness recognize that our businesses have direct and/or indirect impact on the communities in which we operate.
